Norco is a small town in Western Riverside County and is widely referred to as ‘Horsetown USA’.  Equestrian, events and rodeos are the primary form of entertainment. 

 

The predominant zoning is large lots for animal keeping. .  The town architectural standard  is ‘old western’, and  in some ways, it seems a step backward in time to most visitors. 

 

There are concrete sidewalks in a few of the commercial areas.  However, the entire residential portions of the city are lined with horse trails rather than sidewalks and curbs. 

 

Many businesses have hitching rails as well as parking lots.  Horse trailers and horse-drawn wagons outnumber motor homes by at least ten to one. 

 

Hay & grain stores abound, along with tack & saddle shops, western clothiers, boot and hat shops as well as the usually expected range of retail businesses. 

 

The eastern portion of the city is referred to as ‘Old Town’ and it is!  The center line of the two mile stretch of the main street there is painted with red, white, and blue stripes rather than the usual two yellow stripes, and everything looks 1880 to 1915 except that the road is actually paved.
